For a handful of summers about 30 years ago, tourists who wandered into a large dancehall in Stanley, Idaho, witnessed a family tradition finding new life. Young and old sat shoulder-to-shoulder, taking a break from the town’s mountain hikes and river campgrounds to take in Muzzie Braun and the Boys, a local family band who’d made it to the Johnny Carson Show. They effortlessly spouted cowboy poetry and Western swing at gatherings around the country and featured Muzzie’s four young sons, precocious boys with rock-and-roll futures, the youngest of which is Micky Braun.
The Braun brothers never stopped. Big brothers Cody and Willy started Reckless Kelly, and Micky and Gary left Idaho for Austin and started Micky and the Motorcars, a road-dogging favorite whose nonstop tour for the last 24 years has defined not just the lives of the brothers, but also shaped Austin’s roots-rock resurgence that has played out over the last two decades. Micky and the Motorcars cement their place as elder statesmen of that alt-country scene who have managed to master that ever-elusive blend of artistic familiarity and surprise.
Beyond his role of co-fronting the band, Micky has been a prolific writer having written with Parker McCollum, Reckless Kelly, Randy Rogers, Cody Canada, Bruce Robison, Kevin Welch, Jason Eady, Adam Hood, Jessie Plemons, Wade Bowen, Courtney Patton, and more. “If you can put your heart on your sleeve and say it, it’s the best medicine for people,” Micky says.

With a decades-long commitment to his craft as a songwriter, Jason Eady has built a career on bringing his unique perspective to a variety of genres. Uninhibited by ties to one particular sound, Eady’s catalog showcases an affinity for telling authentic, forthright stories with his music, a quality that continues to bring new listeners to this veteran musician’s audience year after year.
Born in his most recent album’s namesake state, Mississippi finds Eady inspired, motivated but not bound by the success of his past; instead, Mississippi is yet another manifestation of what Eady does best – channeling truth into songs and a refusal to be boxed in by his previous work. His newest album, however, is not a seismic shift that rebukes the past; rather, Mississippi brings to the forefront hints of deep South-style blues that has always had a place in his sound.
